The following information is from:

The Caulking Mallet listings in the March 1, 1953 catalogue are stamped "DISCONTINUED" in purple ink; something which suggests that caulking mallets may have gone out of production shortly after the catalogue was printed.

Caulking Mallets:

Used to strike caulking irons.

Caveat:

It is assumed in the listings presented below, that when tools have corresponding descriptions in different C. DREW catalogues, that they will also have the same dimensions and weights. This assumption may not always be correct.

15 to 16-inch Caulking Mallets: "The standard size for the mallets . . . is 1-3/4" diam. at the end."
